A Photo

I was inspired by a movie where the main character was a photographer and she took photos of the devastating aftermath of hurricane Katrina in the Southern United States. Her photos were seen by a property developer who was born in the area, but who was overseas at the time. The photos inspired him to return home for good; and to develop property and businesses to help rejuvenate the area again. 

Never underestimate the power of art, creativity, communication and emotions. Human beings are capable of extraordinary things - especially when we work together. Blessings, love and light. 

A photo

A photo is such a magical thing:
It can breathe life into a story, or 
save memories for future reminiscing;
It can paint a picture that is so much more
vivid than mere words,
It can create an emotional reaction to see through the eyes of a lens.

A photo can change a life and a path:
It can awaken our deepest emotions, and stir our hearts and our minds;
It can lift us up to a higher wisdom or 
showcase disaster to remind us of mercy.

A photo is definitely of wonder and magic;
and without these gifts of forever,
life would certainly be tragic.
